So with a few tweaks, Day 1 of #Defcon33 with our https://t.co/9Rhk2P0cgD app is going well. You can upload a badge by taking a pic of it.. and we improved the analysis to return results (or fail find) faster. Give it a try. #badgelife

STARTS TONIGHT! DEF CON 33 Lineup! These folks will decorate your earholes! https://t.co/phV86Pku2F #defcon #defcon33 @defcon @DefconParrot @defconparties #defconparties

I am currently tracking a few bugs in the app. https://t.co/UwIxZwMkK1 if you try to take a photo it first brings up the file upload dialogue, just close that and the camera opens. Also improved the ai search for badges, but still tweaking. #defcon33 badge in DB now

MVP is done, and it is released. Want to try the Badge Tracker for tracking badges at #DEFCON33. Visit https://t.co/GucnMhobw3 and test it out. Use it to add badges at the conference. Add your old ones. DM me if things break (I know they will). TIA. #BadgeLife

Ok, so image analysis is proving to be a real B*%CH. I have new respect for Google Image search now. Still working on fine-tuning if the badge is not in the database.

Image searching works! Snap a pic of a badge; it will see if it is in the database and return results. If not, it will do an image analysis and try to identify it. Then it will allow you to add to the database (with approval, of course). Let me fine-tune the analysis now.

Back at coding the My Badge Life app today. 6 hours yesterday gave us a working site and DB. Uploads, Auth, etc. Today, let's do the magic. Take a pic of a badge and see if we can image match it. If not, upload for future references. #badgelife #DEFCON33

Alight .. 6 hours is enough for tonight. MVP is working. Logging in and uploaded. Some notifications internally. I will work on the Image Matching this weekend. Gnite. Calling it a night.💤

I also only have Google Auth right now. I can add more later. Plus I want some notification back to you of Image uploads etc. Right now an Admin needs to "Publish" a Badge. But take some pics. Upload. Let me know.

Ok .. here goes .. this is the hardest part. I am sure you guys are going to crash the hell out of it and it will all be failure. But: https://t.co/y5yEPr0hlI Let me know what you think. Thats the MVP .. I want to add the Image Search to find the badges. DM if you have questions

Man, I am burning through some credits with @lovable_dev Guess thats part of the process. Beta Testing URL coming soon.

Debug, Test, Debug, Test. But I am getting closer. I cant wait to get you guys the URL. I am super happy on look and Function so far.

And now we are cranking along. Lovable creating databases in Supabase .. working on bugs.

This is what happens when you have a 3 hour flight home to watch @gregisenberg, @starter_story, and @danmartell YouTube videos. You get ideas that will keep you up all night unless you start them.

ok PRD is Made .. now to create an account on Lovable, and all the other things in the tech stack. Wish me luck

Working on PRD with the help of ChatGPT. Going to go with basic MVP for now, Take a pic of a badge, it looks in the DB to see if it is there and displays info about it. Lets start with that. Maybe does a quick search if not in DB for Image Match?

ok .. domain name purchased.
